A small group of community leaders and advocates gathered on empty land west of Safehouse Services on West Fox Farm Road to break ground on a $620,000 twin home capable of housing up to 10 high-schoolers ages 16-20.

Our community Action Teams are seeking to engage more people with lived experience to help design and implement interventions aimed at improving conditions in our community in targeted areas. To create meaningful change in our community we require the voices of all people, but particularly the voices of our neighbors who have lived the experiences and conditions we strive to improve.
